Authorities have confirmed that two people were found in an Abernathy home Thursday. Abernathy police and EMS were called for a "welfare check"at a home in the 1100 block of Avenue G just before 4 p.m.

Moments later the home was wrapped in crime scene police tape.

“The officers did enter the residence. Two deceased people were found in the residence - a male and a female,” said Texas Department of Public Safety Senior Corporal John Gonzalez.

Names have not been released.

Other sources revealed that the case has now been handed to the Texas Rangers who are currently investigating the scene.
